Team Suzuki ECSTAR Australia is excited to announce that Wayne Maxwell will join the team for next two years.

Maxwell, who finished runner-up in this year’s Australian Superbike Championship will join Josh Waters aboard the factory supported PTR prepared Suzuki

GSX-R1000, forming one of the most powerful Suzuki rider line-ups in the history of ASBK.

Said Maxwell: “I’m very excited to be joining Team Suzuki ECSTAR Australia for the next two years. Last time Suzuki and I were paired together proved to be very successful, winning my first Australian Superbike championship.

I’m really looking forward to getting back on the GSX-R1000, I know how fast and competitive the GSX-R is having raced against it the last few years, I’m super excited to get to work with Phil, Warren and the rest of the team on repeating our 2013 success.”
